Abstract :
This paper documents how Power Grid Corporation of India Ltd. (POWERGRID) has utilized an emergency restoration system for improving the availability and reliability of their transmission grid. Extensive planning and training by POWERGRID has taken place since the introduction of the emergency restoration system in India in 1995. Since its introduction, there have been numerous examples of its use in restoring critical transmission lines in difficult areas. Examples of these restorations are presented along with details of the training and planning by POWERGRID personnel. The benefits from utilizing a standardized emergency restoration system is presented along with some of the many lessons learned from POWERGRID´s experience
